An eclectic collection of poetry, fiction and anecdotes by the late Martin
Matz, who rose to the top alongside Jack Kerouac, Bob Kaufman and Ginsberg
in the San Francisco Beat scene, only to leave for Mexico months before the
Beat explosion. Marty Matz managed to elude the big time fame but not the infamy.
Includes his well-known collection, Pipe Dreams, with an intro by
Herbert Huncke, and additional introductory texts by Roger Richards and Gerald
Nicosia.

"This book is the Beat Generation's big gun. It goes off all over the
world. The language is elegant. The poet is sure of himself. The world is sure
of the poet." – Bob Kaufman for Matz's book, Time Waits
